Hi Dan, I have recently gone through the same exercise as you. We obtained a CLLF 860T board and got the Hardhat Linux CDK from Montavista http://www.mvista.com. I had Linux booting via TFTP in pretty short order. However, as you've already discovered Embedded Planet boards are not reference designs (i.e. they will not release schematics, etc. for any price). They would rather sell you lots of their little boards.
We've subsequently decided to go to the 8260 instead of the 860. Have recently obtained a SBC8260 board which is a reference design from EST (now Windriver HSI). I'm just getting started with it, but Montavista CDK has support for this board as well. Good luck with your efforts.

Initially, we purchased a FADS860T boards, but we had little success with this target. Can anyone recommend an 860T-based board, which has both a fast ethernet and a PCMCIA interface? So far, the board that gets closest to this spec is the embedded planet CLLF board. However, this is a production-ready board, and we are looking to design our own product once we have proven the technology can do the task. Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
